How to Make Pancakes!
so that it spreads evenly in the pan.
Spoon some of the batter into the centre of the hot
pan, and tip from side to side. The batter should
take approximately 30 seconds to cook on one side.
Gently lift the edges of the pancake to see if it’s
golden. If it is, turn it on to the other side and leave it
to cook as before.

Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) Falls on February 4th
this Year!
Kids love pancakes, and with Pancake Day
approaching, now’s the perfect time to start
practicing those ﬂipping skills.
Pancakes are simple and easy to make. All is required
is:
4oz of plain ﬂour sifted
A pinch of salt, 2 eggs
7ﬂoz of milk
2oz of butter
Once you have all the ingredients ready, put the ﬂour
into a bowl with the salt. Lightly beat together the
egg and milk and mix in with the ﬂour, making sure
you only add a little of the egg and milk at at time.
Whisk well until the batter is smooth and thick.
Heat your frying pan on the highest setting and place
a knob of butter on the pan and tip from side to side

Now you’re ready for the fun part. Wiggle the pan to
make sure the pancake is not sticking and gently toss
the pancake and catch it so it lands in the pan.
Instead of just having pancakes for pudding, why
not make a meal of it and have pancakes for your
main dinner and dessert? Melted cheese, bacon
and tomato make for a yummy pancake ﬁlling or
maybe try chicken in a creamy cheese sauce. A nice
alternative to the traditional lemon and sugar ﬁlling
is to have a banana and toﬀee ﬁlling with ice cream.
Or melt some chocolate and peanut butter to make a
tasty nutty ﬁlling.

Half Term Ideas
Half Term comes quicker than Christmas these days,
and there’s always the question of what you’ll do to
occupy the kids for a whole week! Do not fear though
as we’ve come up with a list of ideas for you to take
inspiration from.
HAVE A FILM DAY
If it’s looking a bit glum outside, transform your living
room into a cinema! Spend the day making popcorn
holders and popcorn and pick a few ﬁlms to watch.
Draw the curtains, turn the lights out and let them get
comfortable by placing all the cushions from your sofa
on the ﬂoor. Stock up on some ice cream, sweets and
soft drinks for in between the ﬁlms and sit back, relax
and joy all the pleasures a home cinema can bring.
PIZZA PARTY
Everybody loves pizza and it tastes even better when
you’ve made it yourself. Head to the shops and buy
some pizza bases, tomato puree and of course the
cheese! Buy a selection of diﬀerent pizza toppings
both the usual (pepperoni, ham, pineapple, olives or
mushrooms) and the unusual. Lay all your ingredients
out on the table and get pizza making! Help them
spread the tomato puree on the bases and let them
go as crazy as they want with the toppings. Pop them

in the oven and voila! There you have some yummy
pizzas to feast on! Sounds delish.
OUT AND ABOUT
If the skies outside are blue then there is no excuse to
get outside and embrace the good weather with a walk.
The crisp February weather is the perfect time to roam
the countryside or visit your local park and look for
snowdrops in the woodland areas. Take some bird feed
or frozen peas for the ducks (not bread as it’s bad for
their diet), wrap up warm and enjoy a day out.
LEISURE CENTRES AND LOCAL ACTIVITIES
If you’d prefer to get them out of the house this half
term why not get them to start a new hobby. Your local
leisure centre will have special activities on during
half term such as swimming days, rough and tumble
days and other special sports clubs for your children
to enjoy. Make the most of local stables too who may
be holding special taster days for children who are
interested in horse riding.
If any of these ideas take their fancy, maybe they’ll be
inspired to make it into a regular activity so by the time
the next holiday of half term comes round they’ll be
able to come up with their own ideas.
